The [Athodai] is a fun weapon to use... If you can land headshot kills

Despite this weapon benefiting from veilbreaker buffs... I still find it hard to use without warframe abilities due to the fact that even with heat dealing minimal status damage, i end up hitting the bodies at last even if the 3x and +30% headshot multiplier from deadhead deal enough damage... I still die trying to get the overdrive buff

Dont get me wrong, it's a strong secondary in the right hands... But trying to get the overdrive buff at close range will get you killed

I choose corrosive instead of viral due to the terrible disadvantage viral has with some armored eximus units

Arcane choices
-Deadhead: grants an endless supply of damage most of the time
-Voltage: (Secondary fire only) grants a neat reload bonus but needs some armor strip for the electric procs to do damage
-Accuracy: Worser than deadhead, but it's a free harrow on your gun
-Encumber: Grants a low chance to get viral and magnetic along with other statuses, works well with secondary fire
-Flare: Uses secondary fire to max out damage for both modes
